The meteorological department says mainly fair weather will prevail over most parts of the island.

However, a few showers are likely in the Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa and North-western provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts.

A few showers will occur in the sea areas off the coast extending from Puttalam to Hambantota via Colombo and Galle.

Winds will be South-Westerly in direction and speed will be 30-40kmph.

The sea area extending from Puttalam to Trincomalee via Mannar and Kankasanthurai, and the sea area extending from Pottuvil to Hambantota may be rough at times as the wind speed can be increased up to 60 kmph.
